Coons was 15-of-16 on field-goal attempts last season for a 93.8 percent accuracy rate that tied for third in the country. But he averaged just 60.4 yards on his 57 kickoffs, which ranked him only 88th in the FBS, according to cfbstats.com. He produced eight touchbacks, a 14 percent average.

“I think the one thing I want to improve on is my kickoffs,” Coons said. “You can always get better with field goals, too, being more consistent and bringing the confidence up even higher than it is.”

Ted Miller, in his ESPN mailbag, is asked about the odds that someone other than Cyler Miles starts a game for UW this season. (For what it’s worth, I’d say the odds are very high either Troy Williams or Jeff Lindquist starts at Hawaii.)
